THE Clothes Show Live 2012

On 7th December I attended The Clothes Show Live in Birmingham, an event that has blessed the city for 24 years running. I went a few years back and to my disappointment  there seemed to be more make-up than actual clothes. It's fair to say that it's an annual thing, yes the makeup took priority over the clothes even though I'm not much of a make-up lover. The show however was a must-see, Daisy Lowe was the official ambassador of the show and Peter Andre modeled his new clothing range, Alpha. The styling on this years catwalk shone, beautiful materials teamed with perfect shoes. A real inspiration to create something from my own wardrobe. The clothes modeled on the catwalk were day-to-day clothes, nothing too eccentric or exotic for the likes of this countries unpredictable weather. I was thoroughly impressed with the ending of the show, a stylish take and dance off of Psy's Gangnam style, left me entertained and was a great way to end the show!

Christmas is upon us!

I have been slacking with my blogging! Firstly, there is the lack of time I have, juggling college, college work and a job. I have just had a sort of epiphany about my future. I was sat here, cleaning my room as per until I felt the urge to do college work. But not the college work that needs to be done, not the fun stuff but a game review for a pointless English lesson I have once a week. This proves to me that when it comes to work, I'd rather do the writing, weather its because i enjoy it more or because it's easier. from this, I gathered I would be better off studying writing as the work wouldn't be as such a chore.
My advance to others has always been, do what you're good at, not what you like doing. The reason for this:

If you have to do a whole career on what you like, you will do that much work that it will change from a hobby to a chore and you will dislike it.
If you do what you're good at, you will not have to find motivation to work, it will come naturally to you and will never be forced. you then still have your hobbies to enjoy and release the stress from the work.
I should listen to myself more instead of offering others advice.

On a lighter note, all my Christmas shopping is done and dusted, I'm about to wrap some of them. Getting excited now although I don't feel the spirit is there just yet!

I hope to report back in the next few days as I shall be going to the clothes show live <3
